Welcome to Genxywines

What we are building is one of Australasia's (Australia and New Zealand) largest free to access, independent wine review and education sites.
It is written by ordinary (albeit passionate) wine consumers to provide frank hype-free advice to other wine consumers - and we aren't trying to flog you any particular brands.
We are also getting around to all the wine regions across Australasia to visit and photograph the winery cellar doors and regional highlights to help punters decide for themselves which are the best to visit.

If you would like your wine reviewed on this site,
please contact us. During this summer break (until mid Feb 2015) can you use our alternative genxywines@yahoo.com.au address

Finding wineries and wine reviews on this site

If you're looking for a winery, a wine region or wine review in Australia or New
Zealand, go to the regions section. If you want to learn about wine...then
go to that section....getting the picture yet? If you don't know in which region a winery is located then go the Search section and it will take you to our A-Z winery listing that will tell you where it is located.

Wine of the week:

(East
Gippsland (VIC) Tasting: Jan 2016, a surprise for the region both in choice of variety and the quality of this second release, flavoursome, ripe and brambly blackberry, sour cherry and plum with olive and bay leaf notes, the mid-palate is sumptuous without heaviness and the alcohol is a modest 12.8% (more Tuscan than Australian), the chalky tannins provide a well balanced counterpoint, excellent line and length with a restrained dark chocolate/hazelnut oak finish, shame that only 70 dozen were made so it will be hard to get hold of (*****)
